Practical: How To Contact Members Of The EU-Parliament Committee On Legal Affairs (JURI)

You may want to read the Lobbying guide for restarting the EU's legislative process on the software patent directive, please always be polite and friendly (we have been forwarded some massmails that are sent to numerous MEPs at once, do not attempt to build any two-way communication and do not even mentioning the recipient MEP's names. That creates a bad impression and may even make MEPs think "not again ... let's go straight through the 2nd reading, as quickly as possible, so that we don't get so much junkmail ..." )
